Pair of extended arms coupled to a vessel
Abstract
The present invention provides a vessel (10) comprising: a bow (100) having a port side and a starboard side, a pair of extended arms (101, 102) comprising: a port side extended arm (101) operationally coupled to the port side of the bow (100), and a starboard side extended arm (102) operationally coupled to the starboard side of the bow (100), the pair of extended arms (101, 102) configuring a trapezoidal zone and bifurcating an incoming wave towards the vessel (10) into three directions: towards port side, toward starboard side and a center wave into the trapezoid pool (103), thereby reducing impact of wave resistance on the vessel (10). The trapezoid pool (103) facilities the generation of air bubbles (500) by collisions of the center wave with the bow (100) and the pair of extended arms (101, 102).

3 . The pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) configured to bifurcate the incoming wave towards the vessel ( 10 ) into three portions:
a port side wave directed towards the port side of the vessel ( 10 ); a starboard side wave directed towards the starboard side of the vessel ( 10 ); and a center wave directed into the trapezoid pool ( 103 ) through a gap (g) between distal ends of the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ).
4 . The pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) may extend or retract along length of the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ).
5 . A vessel ( 10 ) comprising:
a bow ( 100 ) having a port side and a starboard side; a pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) comprising:
a port side extended arm ( 101 ) operationally coupled to the port side of the bow ( 100 ), and
a starboard side extended arm ( 102 ) operationally coupled to the starboard side of the bow ( 100 ),
the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) configuring a trapezoid pool ( 103 ) and bifurcating an incoming wave towards the vessel ( 10 ) thereby reducing impact of wave resistance on the vessel ( 10 ).
6 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bow ( 100 ) is selected from a single indented bulbous bow or vertical bow having a curved bottom or a slide-shape bow.
7 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the bow ( 100 ) has an inclination angle (a) at bottom ranging between 30° to 90°.
8 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) may extend or retract along length of the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) to act as a rudder of the vessel ( 10 ).
9 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the port side extended arm ( 101 ) is directed towards the distal end of the starboard side extended arm ( 102 ), forming the trapezoid pool ( 103 ).
10 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ) configured to bifurcate the incoming wave towards the vessel ( 10 ) into three portions:
a port side wave directed towards the port side of the vessel ( 10 ); a starboard side wave directed towards the starboard side of the vessel ( 10 ); and a center wave directed into the trapezoid pool ( 103 ) through a gap (g) between distal ends of the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ).
11 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the trapezoid pool ( 103 ) facilities the generation of air bubbles ( 500 ) by collisions of the center wave with the bow ( 100 ) and the pair of extended arms ( 101 , 102 ).
12 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising an air bubble generating apparatus ( 104 ) operationally coupled to the bow ( 100 ) of the vessel ( 10 ) and configured to inject air bubbles ( 500 ) in the trapezoid pool ( 103 ), wherein the air bubble generating apparatus ( 104 ) injects air bubbles ( 500 ) at different injection angles above a bottom ( 300 ) of the vessel ( 10 ) to control the size and density of the air bubbles ( 500 ).
13 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the air bubbles ( 500 ) flow through the bottom ( 300 ) of the vessel ( 10 ) to create a layer of air bubbles ( 500 ) between the bottom ( 300 ) of the vessel ( 10 ) and seawater.
14 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bow ( 100 ), the port side extended arm ( 101 ) and the starboard side extended arm ( 102 ) are supportably connected to each other through one or more supporting members ( 105 ).
15 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising a buttock stern ( 200 ) having a 10°-60° of sliding structure (β).
16 . The vessel ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising:
a collection unit ( 203 ) operationally coupled to the buttock stern ( 200 ) and configured to collect the air bubbles ( 500 ) contaminated with micro-plastics which are adhered to the air bubbles ( 500 ) through seawater waves; a purifying unit ( 204 ) operationally coupled to the collection unit ( 203 ) and configured to separate the micro-plastics from the collected air bubbles ( 500 ), and; at least one propeller ( 201 ) operationally coupled to the buttock stern ( 200 ); and at least one rudder ( 202 ) disposed ahead of the at least one propeller ( 201 ) to reduce the length of the vessel ( 10 ).Cited by (0)
